Arcade-In-A-Box At CGE 2007

July 28th & 29th 2007

We will be attending the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. We plan to have both a Jamma-In-A-Box and Arcade-In-A-Box setup and running for all to enjoy. The Arcade-In-A-Box will be setup on a 70" screen. Come by our booth and have some fun.

Here is a little more information about the show.

• Classic Gaming Expo enters its tenth year as the world's first and largest event paying tribute to the people, systems and games of yesteryear. This year's event will be the biggest and best ever, with lots of surprises to be announced as the show draws near!
• The show is open to the public, gamers of all ages are welcome.
• Meet the Legends of video gaming! Dozens of video gaming's "alumni" will be present. In recent years the show has featured dignitaries such as Nolan Bushnell, Ralph Baer (the "father of home video games"), Al Alcorn (the creator of Pong), Don Bluth (former Disney artist who crafted Dragon's Lair and Space Ace), David Crane (Pitfall!, Dragster), Katz, Kunkel and Worley (Electronic Games, Sega Visions), Jay Smith (designer of the Vectrex), and many more.
• Live musical entertainment, featuring some very talented artists who bring classic game themes to life, past events have included the talents of 8-Bit Weapon, Tony Fox NYC, The Minibosses, FirestARTer, and the C-Men.
• Prizes and tournaments at every turn, including special events sponsored by Intellivision Productions and Digital Press.
• A live auction is held on Saturday night after the show, where many rare and one-of-a-kind items are put on the block. You could end up getting the deal of a lifetime!

Hope to see you there.

Jamma-In-A-Box Review

Jim Metzler won a Jamma-In-A-Box unit during a December contest at www.retroblast.com . He took the time to write up a very professional, and bias review of our system. If you have questions about the Jamma-In-A-Box unit, it's very possible this review will answer those questions and concerns. Thank you Jim for the excellent and well written review.

Arcade Stands Coming Soon.

There has been a small delay in the manufacturing of our stands.  We hope to have them available in the next 2-3 weeks.

We are proud to announce 2 new stands for our systems coming in April. The first stand is designed for the Arcade-in-a-Box system, and the second will fit the Jamma and Neo-Geo systems. The stands will come in black with your choice of t-molding color and will probably retail for $99 plus shipping. The stands will come flat shipped, and easy to assemble with just a screwdriver. These stands are sturdy, and will not move with the most aggressive players. The stand features one shelf in middle for storage and an open back design to allow a seperate stand for your proejector or audio equipment. As always, we can custom make stands if you already have an arcade controller you want to use, just send us the dimensions, and we can give you a quote.

Congratulations to University of Florida Gators!

Arcade-In-A-Box presents this custom home arcade piece featuring the University of Florida colors.

For fans of other schools, Arcade-In-A-Box can create color themes matching their schools too, as well as provide decals that can be attached to the units for the ultimate college sports fan.

Arcade-In-A-Box in Local Tucson Paper

The Arizona Daily Star has done a very nice piece on the Arcade-In-A-Box and it's owner. It was printed in the business section of the Friday, Dec 8th Morning Issue of the paper. You can also see part of the story here http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/159396 However, this is not the whole story, and at the time of this posting, did not go through final editing.

We are honored to have been featured in the paper, and it was a pleasure to have Levi Long and photographer Kelly over to our shop for photos and the interview.

Many thanks to James Hills (www.marketinghelpnet.com), Kevin Steele (www.Gameroommagazine.com), and Rich Rochlin. All of these people were interviewed for the piece and we can't thank them enough for their kind words on the product.

New Jamma Boxes Coming Soon

We are working on 2 new Jamma Boxes. Both of these units will be designed to work with the Ultimate Arcade II Cabinet Kit. For those of you that would rather have a full size cabinet, there is nothing better than using real arcade boards with it.

This unit will come in a home and coin-op version.

Home Version:

• Coin-In Buttons
• Hinged top for quick and easy game swapping

Coin Op Version:

• Coin in buttons are removed, and wires are installed to connect to the systems coin mech.
• Locked hinged top. Still making it easy to swap games, but keeps everything secure on the inside.

More news about this product coming in the next few weeks.

• Guide, Start and Back buttons.
• Wired and Windows XP Compatible
• Front Headset Jack (Will not work with the official 360 headset. We do include a free headset)
